Polymarket US

$25 credit

Referral code is your username inside the Polymarket US app. A new user enters it at signup and deposits at least $10. You both get a $25 promotional trading credit, up to 50 friends. The credit trades and pays fees. It is not cash you withdraw. The button below opens polymarket.com with our referral. That link does not type the US username for you.

FAQ

Does Polymarket have a deposit bonus?

Polymarket US does. Campaign A pays $25 in promotional trading credit to you and to a new user who signs up with your username and deposits at least $10. The credit is for trades and fees, not a cash withdrawal. International Polymarket does not add money to a deposit. It pays the referrer a share of net trading fees.

Do Kalshi and Smarkets match that $25?

No. Kalshi’s amount depends on the offer in the app, and “up to” is a maximum. Smarkets publishes code COMMFREE: 0% commission for 60 days for new UK, Ireland and Malta customers. That is a fee waiver, not cash on the deposit.

Does GammaPredict pay the bonus?

No. Each venue pays its own offer. GammaPredict does not issue codes and does not take bets.
